Used 2003 Dodge Neon SXT Sedan FWD for Sale near Dallas, TX

Not the most powerful car on the road but it has held up under some great abuse and keeps pushing back, great investment. Easy to work on as well, and the cost of the parts are cheap, plus when it's running well it can be a fun car to drive.

If you bought this car you didn't but it for being the fastest car out there. Although you can fix it up to be considerably quick for not too much out the pocket. Its a really easily maintained vehicle that if you keep up with can last a while. In my opinion it looks pretty good. At most depending on which package you got you'll need an upgrade in the wheels area of the car. The gas is excellent and everything is good. It's a very fun car to drive. This was my first car bought brand new off the lot.

As far as econoboxes go the Dodge Neon tends to sacrifice some of the superior fuel economy of a honda civic at the expense of some performance. The handles and feels rather tight compared to other cars in its class, and acceleration is decent for the little 4-banger. The seats are also rather comfortable for its class, and I found the driving position to be very nice (this is important for me). My only con on comfort is that the car seems to have very bad blind spots for me (it dosen't for my wife), so I feel claustrophobic when driving. Other than that, this is a great economy car.

I like that it is red and has a spoiler. It has good acceleration and runs really smooth. The interiors are really great - red and black, instead of the beige that is so commonly found in used cars. In addition it is fuel efficient. 22-24 miles in the city per gallon.

I went with the smaller engine & non-turbo to try to avoid the "sports car" hit on my insurance. Because it is a stick even though I wanted it for the mpg I still got tagged for the sports car increase. 250,000 miles and no major repairs, good gas mileage, paint has held up well, quick off the line w/ the stick in the 2.0L. Drives & handles well, best tire wear is to use the pressure listed on the tires not the ones in the door/owners manual. I can get 65k out of 60k tires using the tire pressure but only 50k if I use the door. Using the door pressure also reduces the mpg by 15-20%. I usually get 32-36mpg but with the factory pressures I am lucky to get 28.
